PVH Teams With Canopy to Transform Its Packaging and Viscose Supply Chains

On Thursday, PVH Corp. launched its Forest Protection Policy and formal commitment to both the CanopyStyle and Pack4Good initiatives to help save the world’s ancient and endangered forests.
The addition of PVH to these initiatives brings the market power behind CanopyStyle to more than $260 billion in annual revenues, and the recently launched Pack4Good to almost $50 billion.
PVH’s Forward Fashion Corporate Responsibility strategy addresses the use of wood-derived materials throughout their business, which includes Calvin Klein Inc. and Tommy Hilfiger, specifically setting targets focused on waste reduction and packaging alternatives and committing to sustainably source all viscose by 2025.
PVH’s comprehensive forest protection policy commits to several initiatives such as purchasing paper products certified as being sourced from responsibly managed forests and made from a minimum of 50 percent post-consumer waste or recycled content. The company also looks to reduce overall packaging and achieve a minimum of 50 percent recycled content by 2020 and seeks to eliminate the sourcing of wood-derived materials from Ancient and Endangered Forests, meeting the 2022 target timeline of the Pack4Good initiative. It also commits to meet the Canopy Style timeline to eliminate Ancient and Endangered Forest fibre from their viscose fabrics by the end of 2020.
